How To Make one pot bean & bacon soup

• Step 1
  In a large pot, add the canola oil, diced onion, diced yellow bell pepper and diced orange bell pepper.
• Step 2
  Sauté this over medium high heat for about 9 minutes, while stirring frequently.
• Step 3
  Now add the teaspoon of jarred minced garlic, and continue cooking for just 30 seconds. Then remove the pan from heat, and add the Bush's Best Brown Sugar Hickory Baked Beans, the 2 cans of Sliced Stewed Tomatoes, the Chili Beans in sauce, Pork & Beans in Tomato Sauce, the undrained Pinto Beans, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Black Beans, and the can of Po*Tel Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.
• Step 4
  Stir the cooked bacon, and slowly bring soup to a boil.
• Step 5
  Once the soup is heated through, remove pan from heat and ladle soup into bowls.
• Step 6
  Note: The first time I prepared this soup, I had added 4 oz. of thick sliced, cooked and diced, Jalapeño Bacon, which my daughter Jenny had made. The soup had a bit of a bite to it (heat-wise), and it was quite delicious. The second time I prepared the soup, I added slices of Maple Flavored Bacon. Today when I also made this soup, I cooked exactly a pound of bacon, and added it to the soup.
